Keyaki Hill CC

兵庫県, Japan

Keyaki Hill Country Club is a 18-hole, par 72 golf course located in Takarazuka, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. The course was designed by Obayashi Corporation and opened on July 29, 1973. It is situated approximately 15 minutes from the Kawane Interchange of the Shin-Meishin Expressway. The layout is described as a flat, American-style course featuring Bentgrass greens with undulating contours, strategically placed water hazards, and a variety of bunkers. The course plays from multiple tee boxes, with the back tees measuring 6,381 yards and the middle tees at 5,137 yards. The front nine totals 35 par, while the back nine also totals 35 par. The handicap index ranges from 1 to 18 across the holes. The course is known for requiring mental toughness and technical skill, as the undulating fairways and greens can challenge even those who find the best position off the tee. The course operates as a self-play facility. Notable features include the challenging par-5 8th hole on the front nine, which measures 495 yards from the back tees, and the par-5 13th hole on the back nine, which stretches to 515 yards. The course also features a par-3 7th hole on the front nine at 125 yards and a par-3 16th hole on the back nine at 126 yards. The facility includes a restaurant, competition rooms, a locker room, a large bath, and a shop. Green fees can be paid with various credit cards, including JCB, Visa, DC, TS3, AMEX, Rakuten, and Aeon.
